like young man â€” ( indimati commercial humbuggery the vast amount of hunibuggerv 1 that is practiced in the world may be 1 partially learned from the great num ber of humbug advertisements that till the papers especially the large and very extensively circulated papers the most arrant humbugs will pay great sums of money for advertising in the papers that have the largest cir culation of course they could not afford to do this if they did not actual ly humbug thousands of people by their advertisements there are hun dreds of papers in this country run by humbug advertisements alone they succeed in getting a lung list of names on their subscription books and they are then well paid for their space by the humbugs it is astonishing how easily great numbers of people are humbugged the most of these ad vertisements carry humbuggerv in their very wording and appearance in the paper the most improbable and impossible things are held out and promised to the reader such things that a moment's reflection it would scorn would convince the most un sophisticated and unwary could not be honestly dune hut these humbug ad vertisers have had such success in their work and have reaped such a golden harvest that their effrontery and assum ptions know no bounds so that many of them make the most ridiculous and and preposterous announcements and find a plenty of willing dupes and cus tomers all over the country to make quick answer to them the most ready patron of these humbug advertisers is the young man who having arrived at the age of from eighteen to twenty one is disgusted with the almost in visible down upon his upper lip which he has scraped aud blacked to no pur p se for a year past he is disgusted and disheartened at his maiden ap pearance and longs for a full hirsute turn out â€” he reads in his newspaper this advertisement a full set of whiskers guaranteed in six weeks 1 ' along side of a picture of a young man about his age and style literally cover ed with a rich flowing beard and daint ily curled mustache he sends on gets mime of that wonderful mixture that promises this great thing in wins i kers and finds after a six week's trial j that he has been humbugged for in stead f a mowing silk beard and ravish ing mustache he has a scarified upper li)i and a beardless chin he next tries love powers which the advertiser tells him will captivate the heart of j any maiden and render the road to matrimory easy and t hornless when be get his love powders for which i he has paid a dollar or two he smells them ami finds they are saw dust hut this dosen't dampen his ardor in the pleasurable pursuits of being hum bugged he wants a watch and chain and he goes to his paper again and j reads a solid hunting case gold watch for ten dollars a watch of this description would cost at tiffany's ' or any other reputable dealer in watch es from one hundred to two hundred dollars hut he never thinks of this j â€” and so he sends on his money ami j gets a bright and rl ishing watch and chain that look as sweet as gold , after a week or two wearing the yel low wears off and leaves the tin shell : and his vest is soiled by a villainous chemical compound the whole affair â€” watch and chain not being worth more that seventy five cents hut the old man delights in being humbugged as much as the young mau he is ailing and he spends hundreds of dollars in experimenting with the various kinds of nostrums and hum bugs that he reads in his papers and finally winds up with the fellow who advertises a medicine or treatment that will restore him to youth again there are numerous advertisements which read like this ten dollar's worth for one dollar this is a great catch and thousands send on their dollars and get in return about ten cent's worth of trifles then there are alver ti e.nents which say a gold ring free or a washing machine free if you will send on money enough to pay for packing and postage or express charges this generally amounts to ! three times the intrinsic value of the [ thing advertised if it should ever be i sent at all numerous advertisements like these appear in hundreds of papers at the same time and run frcm year to year they are arrant humbugs but they thrive and bring wealth to adver tiser all this is astonishing but it is true then there is the advertisements signed rev so and so who is returned and a retire missionary who is anxious to do something for suffering human ity for nothing he will send you a prescription free that will cure you of all the ills flesh is heir to when you get the prescription it reads some thing like this ii boli ammoniaci vini spisarinati a a 1 oz lin liber i fol iorum 1 oz a<piae pune dilut quan tum suffic misee sig dose 1 oz ter in die pro re nata which as apt as not when you go to buy it will turn out to be tlie left hind foot of a grave yard rabbit or a tanned flee's hide then there is the advertisement that proposes to give you free u a city lot or forty acres of rich land if you will send on a small sum to pay for the deed you send on your money and that is the last of it an ignorant and vulgar mountebank visits a city or town decked out in indian toggery and he will succeed in plastering the outside and tilling the inside of numer ous dupes who pay liberally for his hurabuggery the amount of money these auda cious vampires get from the people is enormous there are thousands who catch at every tiling new and strange as if virtue was in the novelty alone they never once think that virtue and philanthropy never proceeds in this way it never occurs to them that an honest man and dealer cannot give you ten times the worth of your money and succeed they never think that among all their acquaintances they never knew m honest iu;:a who pre j tended to do such things the dupes themselves who are honest nevjr think of trying to make a living by such methods as these what lias been said that will not ap ply more to men than voinen but the same impositions are extensively prac ticed upon tham there are a great number of women who cannot resist the temptation to consult the fortune teller and clairvoyant they become anxious and fidget ty about the future â€” whether they are to be married or not ami if so when to whom and how many times â€” whether he is to be handsome and distinguished rich or poor â€” and they forthwith resort to the clairvoyant who takes their money and tells them all about it i5ut all classes of people the highly intelligent and well educated at times seem to lie fond of being humbugged even editors who of all other people are the best imformed as to the nature and true character of advertisements are sometimes in m unents of undue vigilance caught by the smart fellows who use their columns for the purpose of carrying on their humbug business humbuggerv is a lasting occupation i for thpse who engage in it jump from one line to another of deception as each is worked out and are

new york for the execution of criminals by electricity in place of hanging is now in force and the state authorities are engaged in arranging the details of the electrical apparatus that is to be offi cially employed the new york herald gives the following particulars of some experiments lately mad 3 in ; connection with the subject half a dozen gentlemen learned in the sciences of electricity and surgery have been deputed by state authority to visit mr thomas a edison's fa mous laboratory at llewellyn park orange x j and there experiment on various lower animals with the object of ascertaining at what point of a ; human body the electrical current can ' most efficaciously be applied in order to 1 secure instantaneous death without ! ( burning or disfiguring the flesh of the | victim several unlucky dogs and calves and one equine quadruped were ] on the i2di tilt sacrificed to science in ' this manner and the results attained ' were regarded as thoroughly satisfac ' tory and as demonstrating conclusively the utility and desirability of the alter ( nating current sis a means of produc ing su ideu and painless death whether ' applied at the head the sirms feet side ' spine or any other point of the body it was shortly after three o'clock when the experiments commenced ' they were conducted in a large shed j i situated in

duration so much as they do a steady advance in the devel opment of trade continuing for a number of years however much they may desire of thi condition for future business the records of com mercial

three times the intrinsic value of the [ thing advertised if it should ever be i sent at all numerous advertisements like these appear in hundreds of papers at the same time and run frcm year to year they are arrant humbugs but they thrive and bring wealth to adver tiser all this is astonishing but it is true then there is the advertisements signed rev so and so who is returned and a retire missionary who is anxious to do something for suffering human ity for nothing he will send you a prescription free that will cure you of all the ills flesh is heir to when you get the prescription it reads some thing like this ii boli ammoniaci vini spisarinati a a 1 oz lin liber i fol iorum 1 oz ases exposed to the temptation of frequeut alcoholic drinking is six times greater thin in all the other industries combined â€” medical review benner's prophecies samuel benner the preat bnancid prophet ia a cotnmnnication to the j real est;ite record & builders guide , published in this city makes a fore cast of the financial aud commercial conditions of the country for the com ing three years he reasons from analogy as well as statistics compiled . from close observations through many i year and supports his predictions re â€¢ yarding future panics with a philoso 1 phic course o f reasooing which cannot !
